The Anger Gute area is located in the metamorphic terrains of Western Ethiopian Basement within the Nekemte map
sheet. It occupies kilometres of metamorphic outcrops with a felsic granitoid intrusion. These granitoid intrusion
cut across in the form of lineament that emplaced along with the lithological contact of low and high-grade rocks
with decreasing of metamorphic grade from the lower to the upper complex. There are different microstructures
and textures such as; perthites, mrymekite, quartz-vein, and joints with minimum space which indicates the tectonic
evolution and metamorphic processes of granitoid rocks of the Anger Gute area. Anger Gute granite has been
emplaced pre, syn/late-to post tectonically associated with the major deformation events. The deposits from massive
boulders, big hills, mountain chains with minimum discontinuities afford the wide poss.. View More»
